Poems spun on love, passion, pagan mysticism, the wild and strange Van Demonian landscape and dreamscape, it's shadows and rainbows. Beneath the surface the smell of peat and the chalk, the shell-grit and mist-haunted soul of Britain hovering as a ghostly parent. A fiery word-dance of sex, salvation, ancestral stories coursing through the marrow of the bones like a fire. Words as a love-making with the cosmos, words pouring out like the blood-jet, love as a harrowing, love as revelation, finding, losing, hurting, knowing the bright light of pain...Word-flights that seek to chart the sky-arcing trajectory of spirit-flight, the falcon's stoop from dizzying height, the melancholic gurgling down in the dark waters of yesterday, the dance of life that won't let up and takes us again and again like a mad fiddler, even when we think we can't bear it. And all of it, asking us to just be with it, to take the hands of the Divine in ours, to just be Awake.
